MBC & SA

 

     The similarities are that the Christians and the Muslims believe in only one God. The Christians and the Muslims have experienced trials and sufferings. They each have a Holy Book. One called a Bible and one called a Quran. The ten commandments of what is written in the Quran and in the Bible are the same. Both believe that their God can do miracles. For example, heal the sick, raise the dead, and cast out evil spirits. They both pray, in which they believe that prayer is a communication with God. They go to a special place to pray, like a church or a Mosque. Both of them fast. Christians celebrate the birthday of Jesus, which is on Christmas, and the Muslims celebrate the birth of Prophet Muhammad. The both have similar creations of what their God has done.

The differences of the Christians and the Muslims are that the Christians believed Jesus was the Son of God, but Muslims believe that he was a Prophet. Muslims don’t believe in the trinity, but the Christians do, The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Christians believe that Jesus dies on the cross, but the Muslims don’t think so. So, in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, I think this is what the Christians believed in. Some of their beliefs in Christ are kind of similar to the Muslim belief. Just like Thomas Hooker, he had followers, just as Jesus had disciples following him.
